One thing is for sure - 80’s fashion will always be in our blood (even if one of us was barred from wearing denim as a kid). With Chris away this week, Eve, Courtney and Lori talk about our look when we were growing up and how our style has evolved over the years. From Vanderbilt jeans and popped collars, to legwarmers and docs to Zoom fashion and going gray in style, you won’t want to miss this neon-colored chat.
